Yes — Kefir by Aldi is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The drink contains flavouring in the berry fruit preparation, which is an industrial additive used to modify taste. The presence of flavouring is sufficient for classification as ultra-processed under the NOVA system.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
